The Compass of the Heart
Why Choosing Your Own Happiness is the Bravest Thing You Can Do
Life is made up of choices, both big and small, and the way you choose influences your happiness.
Try using this principle to make your next decision: choose the path that makes you happy.
The more you think about others and worry about their feelings, the more you tend to neglect yourself. Making choices that make you unhappy will make the road ahead difficult because it isn't what you truly want.
However, making decisions that bring you joy will allow you to find happiness even on a difficult path, because you knew it was what you wanted the moment you made the choice.
It is okay to occasionally meet others' expectations, but most of the time, you should follow your heart. You cannot completely satisfy everyone else’s expectations, but fulfilling your own heart will make you much happier.
Trying to please everyone with every decision often leaves you feeling rejected by everyone. Know that there are no "perfect" answers in life, and it is impossible to please every person. Make the choices that satisfy you, and those who truly love you will wholeheartedly support you.
This is your life; your own feelings are important.
